Écoumène Sweet Siberian Watermelon Organic Seeds

Russian Princess Melon: A Siberian Jewel, Sweet Flavor, and Northern Adaptability!

Discover the Russian Princess melon, a variety with a fascinating past, said to originate from the vast expanses of Siberia, where Russians cultivated it abundantly. In North America, it debuted at the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station in 1901, marking its introduction to the continent. Imagine savoring a melon whose origins date back to distant and cold lands!

This melon offers succulent apricot-colored flesh, very tasty and sweet, which will delight the most demanding palates. In 1937, the McFayden Seeds seed company of Winnipeg, Manitoba, described it as the largest of the early varieties, demonstrating its production potential. It was widely cultivated by the Hutterite colonies of Manitoba, who sold it in local markets, but it has unfortunately become rarer these days. The oblong fruits, with dark green rind, are produced abundantly on a vigorous vine. This vigor is an asset, especially in regions with shorter summers. Grow our organic seeds of Russian Princess melon and rediscover a horticultural treasure, both tasty, historical, and perfectly adapted to northern climates.
